Hi Everyone,
I was seated in early position with pocket queens. With antes in play I raise to 3x. I get one caller in MP and the button raises very small.
Here is where my question comes into right play (mainly) on if I did the right thing. Being out of position I shove which both players have me covered although all fairly big stacked.
MP folds button calls with KJo.
Board runs J 6 A K A and I am out.
I am fairly new to tournament play but up until this point was doing well playing TAG and chipping up here and there.
For GTO strategy how I looked at it was being out of position, more than likely being the lead as these guys weren't the tightest players Ive seen, I was picking up equity by shoving as my stack at that point was only 2 times the pot size it had built too before my shove.
To win tournaments cause I felt was doing goo until this point should I not "risk it" even when having a good hand and trying to take down the pot pre flop for a nice chip up? If I called and he bet the flop given his pre flop raise Itd be safe to think he had an ace probably altho then I would be getting away from it and still be in the tournament! just losing a nice little chunk...
Should I not be taking a risk since I am chipping up slowly to remove such an all in variance or are those just the risks to take in hopes of winning a tourney as qq against 1 higher 1 lower card is only still a 2/3 times win rate. Or did I do the right thing and just got dealt a bad beat?
Thanks,
